Precautions and Maintenance
On battery
•Insert the batteries with the correct polarity.
•Do not mix new and used batteries.
•The batteries cannot be charged.
•Remove the batteries when the unit will not be used for a long time.
•Should any battery leakage occur, wipe the battery case well and install new batteries.
On placement
•Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
•If the unit is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the unit will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.
•Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If it is used in temperatures outside this range, an irregular display (i.e., 88.88...) may appear. If it is used in temperatures lower than this range, the display may change very slowly. These irregularities will disappear and there will be no damage to the unit when the unit is used in its recommended temperature range.
•In vehicles or buildings, radio- reception may be difficult or noisy. Try listening near a window.
•Reception of around 3.64 MHz may be difficult because of internal spurious signals generated by the
On safety
•The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
•Disconnect the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet when the unit is not to be used for a long period of time.
•The name plate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located at the rear of the unit.
•Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. Make sure that no liquid or foreign material enters the DC IN 3V jack of the unit. This may lead to the malfunction of the unit.
•When the casing becomes soiled, clean it with a soft dry cloth dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use abrasive cleansers or chemical solvents, as they may mar the casing.
•Since a strong magnet is used for the speaker, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring- wound watches away from the unit to prevent them from possible damage caused by the magnet.
•When there is lightning and you are using an external antenna, immediately disconnect the AC power adaptor (if connected) from the wall outlet. Never touch the antenna wire when there is a lightning storm.
•Never connect a ground wire to a gas pipe
